Shepherd's Pie made easy!

Man I love finding easy and quick recipes to make! During the week I seriously could use about 6 more hours in each day to get everything done so if I can find a quick recipe then that is just an added bonus.

I have had this recipe for awhile and I have been tweaking it and I think I finally have it it the way I like it. So here is what you need-

Ingredients:

1 lb ground meat
1 green pepper
1/4 cup onions

1 C peas or carrots

1 tbsp ketchup

1 can cream of mushroom

salt and pepper to taste

5 or 6 potatoes
milk
garlic salt
butter

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2. Brown ground beef, green peppers and onions. Drain fat. While browning the ground beef cook potatoes til they are ready to mash
3. Add the ketchup, cream of mushroom, and peas or carrots.
4. Mash potatoes in a mixer and add desired amount of milk, garlic salt and butter. I don't ever know how much I add because I just add until it is just right.
5. In an 8x8 baking dish pour the ground beef mixture on bottom and then completely cover the top with the potatoes.
6. Cook in oven for 15 minutes or until the potatoes are lightly browned.

*Note: You can use a bag of fake potatoes if you want but I have found that real mashed potatoes taste MUCH better!!
